Odd indeed! There was some error message after I posted about there being a reply since I last viewed the thread or something...still doesn't make sense. |

That is my ponderosa lemon its the largest of all lemons. but them are small compared to the ones I normally have. the fruit size was small last year. The Lemons wound up in Ontario Canada gregn took them.
He said customs gave him a hard time! hah.

they can grow to be over 2 pounds. The skin & pulp can grow to be 1 inch think when you cut open the fruit!
and its not a true lemon! its a Lemon-Citrus hybrid.

We grow it in a greenhouse because it is too cold here for it to grow outside.

The green mandarin that Markv referred to look like green orange from Vietnam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_s%C3%A0nh I have been hunting to get the seed to grow one here. inside fruit look the same too. It would be a hot selling fruit for Vietnamese communities. If you guys know where to get a starter, please do let me know. |
